[QUOTE="harry, post: 764599, member: 2127"] Are you using the same brand oil that the old man had used previously? Quite a few years ago I had a Buick skylark with the 151 cast iron engine with 200,000 plus miles that used a little oil.As time went on I started weaning it off 10-30 gas oil and on rotella t 15-40 diesel oil because the drum of oil was handy. once when the barrel of rotella was empty I had picked up 5 gallon of Mystic 15-40 and I happened to change the oil in the old Skylark with that and it started smoking and I couldn't hardly put oil in it fast enough. I finally changed the oil again putting the rotella t 15-40 back in and it went back to maybe a quart per thousand like before. Granted the engine was worn but made me a believer that all oils are not created equal and stick with the same brand of a quality oil. I wouldn't disagree with the straight 30 weight advice either.
